11.3 Automatic Echo Sounder Operation
The automatic fish finder function automatically adjusts the gain, clutter, and range, to
free you to do other tasks. The main features of the automatic mode are as shown be-
low.
• Range is adjusted automatically to show the bottom echo.
• Gain adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver to show the bottom echo in reddish-
brown (default color arrangement).
• Clutter automatically reduces low-level noise like plankton.
Two types of automatic sounder modes are available: [CRUISING] and [FISHING].
[CRUISING] is for tracking the bottom, and [FISHING] is for searching schools of fish.
It is useful to select [CRUISING] until arriving at fishing ground, then select [FISHING]
at the fishing ground.
